Mt Albert Labour sad to lose Helen

The Mt Albert Labour Electorate Committee is very sad to be losing their Member of Parliament, the Rt Hon Helen Clark, who has given 28 years of outstanding and dedicated service to the Mt Albert electorate.
We are delighted, however, that Helen has been appointed as Head of the UN Development Programme. This is a remarkable achievement, not only for Helen but for New Zealand. Her innumerable talents and qualities will be of immense benefit to the international community.
The Mount Albert team looks forward to the election of a new Labour Member of Parliament in the upcoming by-election.

In what's likely the first of many such trips, Labour MPs recently travelled to the West Coast for a three day visit aimed at rebuilding and reconnecting.
The programme involved a caucus meeting as well as a community forum and small group visits to a variety of businesses and organisations up and down the coast.
Labour Leader Phil Goff said:
"Learning about the concerns that New Zealanders have, listening to what their hopes, aspirations and problems are and therefore bringing the Labour caucus better in touch with the views of ordinary New Zealanders.
One of the highlights of the trip was a members and supporters meeting held at the Runanga Workingmen's Club.
